Writing about your faith, particularly on a political blog, is just incredibly hard. Political blogging is so vindictive and knee-jerk. Faith issues are much deeper and require a lot more vulnerability. It also forces you to be accountable. I would appreciate reading posts about your walk with Christ. It's hard to balance genuine posts about faith without revealing too many personal details. It's also hard to be real and not give Sunday School answers. I'll try to write more as it fits.

"Faith requires, well faith." This is such a huge statement and an extremely difficult concept for non-believers to fully grasp. I encourage you to write more about your faith. I will try to do the same if it will help. It's been a full year since I wrote this, but I think it's about time I actually followed through on it: http://billcolrus.wordpress.com/2008/10/21/because-i-simply-must-say-it/#comments -B Great, great, great post.

I for one have never really given much thought to Palin's faith. In part I think that's because I haven't seen her emphasize her faith other than just with passing references in speeches. She doesn't make it a central part of her PR strategy, though I don't doubt that her faith is an important part of who she is. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to read her book yet. I've placed a hold on it at the library, but I'm like 128 in line, so it might take a year or two unless I find someone who will lend me their copy. Even if I got sent a copy tomorrow, I'm in the middle of the Harry Potter saga, and I'm not putting those books down for anything! :-) Great post.
